Shutdowns prevented nearly 5 million confirmed cases in the U.S., study shows Will Feuer Population-based interventions like stay-at-home orders and business closures prevented 4.8 million confirmed coronavirus cases, according to a new study. The study looked at more than 1,700 policy interventions rolled out in six countries that were among the first hit by Covid-19: the U.S., China, South Korea, Italy, France and Iran. The researchers found that so-called lockdowns helped those countries avoid 62 million confirmed cases. “Our results suggest that ongoing anti-contagion policies have already substantially reduced the number of Covid-19 infections observed in the world today,” the researchers wrote. There is still no drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat Covid-19 or prevent infection of the coronavirus. In lieu of pharmaceutical preventatives or treatments, population-based, non-medical alternatives like stay-at-home orders have been key to the U.S. and global responses to the pandemic. o~~~ O
